The first game was Amazing thou a Glitch Feast til patched properly. So I did not buy the Second one for the PC like I did the first.
The PS3 Version of this game, has in it all of the Down-loadable Content the game has made for it. This game like Dragon Age 2 the Ultimate Edition is considered the final of final editions, because it uses the game engine they had designed for Mass Effect 3, this is good news because the engine will make the most of the PS3 for it's graphics which means visually this game will look better then it did on the Xbox360.
I also get the feeling that because Microsoft controls the rights to Mass Effect 1 as an inclusive game, that Bio-ware. Makers of Knights of the Old republic, Jade Empire, Dragon Age and a number of other games that have been hugely popular and some of the best game ever made is unhappy that Microsoft would not release the rights of the first version of this game after some time to allow for them to publish said game onto the PS3.
So I would say or figure that them adding an interactive comic at the start of the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 is their way to get around that. This comic is published by Dark Horse and is suppose to be about 10 to 15 minutes long where you get to decided how to effect the story in special event moments of the first Mass Effect. Sadly it is very low likely many of the smaller thing you might have done in the first game that could have effected the second game do not make it over. And I am unable to comment on many of these things, however I do know many important events do.
I know the Xbox360 version, if you did not have the first game did not allow for you to simply pick the major results and gave you the worse or negative results for the start of the second game. And picked a few other results based on if your Shepard had been male or female. But us with the PS3 version of this game will be allowed to pick the major events of the first game and how it effects the story of the second game for multiple plays of the game without having to spend the time.
So in other words if you already played the first one on the PC, and your PC can handle it very well and you want to see the best visual effects of this game a Consoled will give you. The PS3 Version is the cleanest most crisp of the two. To get this kind of chance, without having to buy the first game again for the Xbox 360 is huge!
Many of the differences between this one and the other from my experience with the Demo that you can download off the Playstation Network, is that this one is more run and gun then the first one. I also noticed that it had less load time then the PC version had so I would figure that would mean it would have less then the Xbox 360 Version as well. I would also say that because the game is on Blueray chances are load times as a whole will be brief and maybe few, and unlike the Xbox 360 Version you will not need to swap discs mid-way through play. All And all its going to be a fun Ride and as a gamer I am happy to see Bio-ware, changed the game enough between the systems to snub it's nose at Microsoft.
I would also like to add that Mass Effect 2, for Ps3 will have been bug fixed and glitch fixed more then even the Xbox360 version and the PC Version. It had been announced that they had worked long and hard to get this game just right using forums and player response from the game to improve this version. It happens to be what Bio-ware called the Gold Version. Which would mean the final version of this game. And because the Game engine Along with the code and the graphics and everything are up dated you will surely see why.
The game will play in true 1080p, it is single player. And it will have one of the highest of all replay values and by extension one of the best story that can very by your responses.
You can play a good guy Paragon or Renegade, this is kinda like Light Side, Dark Side. It will effect the way the character looks. Much like it did in Knights of the Old Republic or Fable. So enjoy and happy gaming!

Mass Effect 2 is a totally AWESOME Science fiction adventure. It has a great story line and a lot of interesting side missions. The choices you make affects the game in different ways, and the results of this game, will carry over to Mass Effect 3. This game is a great one to own, especially complete with the Cerberus Network code and the extra missions that were Downloadable Content( DLC) on the Xbox 360. If you didn't play Mass Effect on the Xbox 360, an awesome adventure can begin with the Playstation 3 version, and you will be set up for the next amazing adventure in 2012, when Mass Effect 3 releases. This game will keep you entertained for months, it is not a game to rush through, it's a game to explore all the amazing content of the Mass Effect Universe. It's a beautiful place to spend your time as the graphics are amazing.

This game is an absolute thrill from beginning to end. The Mass Effect series is one of the best series I've ever had the pleasure of playing. The combat is fun, the visuals are gorgeous, and the story is one of the finest ever in games. It does not matter what system you play this game, this series, on, what matters is that you play it. Mass Effect 2 blew away my expectations and I am confident it will do the same for you. This is what gaming should be, so pop in the disc and enjoy the ride.

This game is not that fun, unless you like games where there aliens and stuff like that. I think it will be better to buy a different game that is more realistic.

Mass Effect 2 is an amazing role playing game (RPG) and in my opinion its the best title that PS3 has put out. This game has a great storyline and you will find yourself playing it over and over again to see the different outcomes. The game has great downloadable add-on content that only adds to the story. The exploration aspects of the game is great as well. I can't say enough good things about this game. If you like Science Fiction, Shooters, and or RPG's this game is for you, it has it all.
Thank you for reading my review, if you have any questions feel free to email me, I would be happy to help you with any questions you have.
